White Russian Truffles

White Russian Truffles

Almost foolproof, these truffles capture the flavors of a creamy White Russian cocktail. With only 5 ingredients, they couldn’t be easier to assemble. Use the highest quality milk chocolate you can find for the most luxurious results.

Melt chocolate in a double boiler to 120°. Measure the cream into a 3-quart saucepan and bring just to the boil. Remove from the heat and cool to 120°. Add the chocolate and soft butter to the cooled cream and stir until the mixture is smooth.

Stir the Kahlua into the chocolate, mixing well. Scrape mixture onto a baking sheet; refrigerate until firm, about 2 hours.

Remove the filling from refrigerator and shape into small balls. Place on a baking sheet lined with parchment or waxed paper.

Roll the truffles in the grated chocolate or finely chopped nuts, pressing gently so the nuts will adhere evenly
